If he’s taking the same staff then that’ll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 The BBC Breakfast piece just now, with an interview with Stephen Warnock, ended in them talking about Gerrard managing Liverpool. Not even been Villa manager for 24 hours FFS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Gerrard’s a very good appointment and would have been happy with him here. He brings a good all round package in my opinion. He has the excellent Michael Beale who gets rave reviews everywhere he goes, he undoubtedly has great leadership and respect and will attract players due to his profile. Excellent appointment for Villa who will be used as a stepping stone if he does well, the difference is where not a stepping stone club anymore and Eddie is undoubtedly the best fit for us at present. https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/michael-beales-rangers-managerial-credentials-22120965 Edited November 12, 2021 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had him in the Championship, which meant he used to roll out - three times a week - his catchphrase, "That's the Championship" (message being: I know the Championship). Shit. Just coughed up some sick thinking about it. I see the talksport oracle, Simon Jordan, has said that Dean Smith’s success was built on what Steve Bruce did.

jackyboy Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Very difficult to evaluate how well Gerrard has done at Rangers. Brought them up to the SPL but they were the only club with money and a sizeable fan base. Once in the SPL the only opposition were Celtic who were skint and at rock bottom. I lived up in Scotland for a number of years and the standard of football, even with the top two teams, was atrocious. I have a feeling he may found out at Villa, as Lampard was at Chelsea and the Villa fans are not patient Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Villa will likely spend again in January and already have a squad good enough to survive. It would be the implosion of all implosion if Gerrard took them down. I'm here for it, unless we go down with them!

(With apologies to Brummie, gut says they will stay up with ease if that helps) He'll do ok, but Villa and their fans are going to have to live with the constant Liverpool rumours until Klopp gets binned off.....and thats enough to wind fans up to the point where he'll get very little patience...especially if they get spanked 4/5-0 by Liverpool.

toontownman Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Smith likely in at Norwich.. when he gets back from New York. Others interviewd. SSN Liked the "lampard didn't feel it was quite right for him, right now..remember he is a manager that has managed in.. the champions league." He has managed in the Championship too! When you get safe Norwich call me. Fair play for Lampard for knowing he would fail here and there and pulls out. Makes you wonder with that mentality whether he can get another job in the PL though. Wrong attitude for me, but some sucker will hire him,we hired Bruce after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I totally understand why managers are incredibly careful with the jobs they take on tbh, especially early on in their careers.

I think that bit is just genuinely crap at his job from a journalistic and bias standpoint. The rest crap at his job from a journalstic hired shill stand point. Pretty obsessive to make a piece about Gerrard going to Villa solely an anti-NUFC/Staveley piece. May as well shoe-horn us into the Radacanu piece while he's at it.
